About this property

Amazing new, 3-level home. Great views of elk herd and sunsets.

We picked this lot for its beautiful view onto a meadow where elk often graze and for the sunsets. This new home has many architectural details that will wow you. Dancing Bear Lodge is filled with high-end furnishings and is decorated with many pieces of southwest and Native American art from our family's collection accumulated over fifty years. The home style is modern craftsman.

The great room has a 35-foot-high cathedral ceiling with heavy hand-scraped ceiling trusses, a real wood burning fireplace and a wall of windows. Large upper and lower outside decks. High-end kitchen appliances will please any chef. The upper-level loft/library is a special place with a view down the valley and hand-built library shelves that demand a photo. Lower-level bonus room with shuffleboard table, game table, 85" TV with YouTube TV and room for the kids to play. The home is stocked with many board/card games, puzzles and toys for the kids. Fully equipped, dedicated, corner windowed office for those that can't escape completely. Fiber optic internet service and a hard-wired Wi-Fi backbone offer six wireless access points throughout the house. Great cell phone service. Butler bar with ice machine and beverage cooler. Large laundry room with bonus refrigerator/freezer. Great room dining room table seats 10 plus 5 bar stools at the kitchen island. On the deck, there is an XL Big Green Egg with lots of accessories for the grill master. Outdoor Breeo smokeless fire pit. Hot Springs Spa for 8 people. The grassy and flat backyard is ideal for kids to play. Location is secluded, very quiet and offers great views of elk herds and sunsets.

Master bedroom is located on the main floor with the great room, powder bath, kitchen, office, bar and laundry room. Two bedrooms with private baths and an amazing library/loft are located on the upper level. Two more bedrooms with private baths, two sets of bunk beds, a bonus room and coffee bar with beverage cooler are located on the lower level. The lower level offers great kid play space, game tables and an 85" TV. All bedrooms have large walk-in closets that can accommodate a baby bed or pack and play bed for parents with babies.

Dancing Bear Lodge is located in the Valley of the Utes subdivision of the Angel Fire Resort. On the same side of the valley as the Angel Fire Resort ski area. While the roads to this home are not particularly steep, a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended in the winter.

Gorgeous home with all the amenities!

Beautifully decorated home with amazing views. We had just arrived and saw a herd of elk running across the field! Every day there was wildlife to view. The downstairs was wonderful for the grandchildren because of all the wonderful toys and games. Loved the floor plan of the house. Everyone enjoyed skiing and snowboarding and my grandson caught his first rainbow trout. Lots of family memories! Robert was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area!

Breathtaking Views

This is one of the best properties we’ve stayed at in Angelfire. You absolutely will not find a better view anywhere there. The house was amazing. Great layout for two large families. The kids loved the downstairs area! The kitchen was very well equipped and fun to cook in! The hot tub was the best part. You could just sit there and relax and take in the beautiful view! Regarding the drive in mentioned in other reviews…we came equipped with 4 wheel drive and snow tires. I would consider us novices as far as driving in the snow. We were intimidated by the drive up the mountain but made it just fine with our equipment!

Amazing White Christmas Upscale Retreat

The property is amazing! The amenities, decor, furniture and features are all top notch. The location, sitting on the edge of the mountain overlooking the valley provided beautiful views. We highly recommend Dancing Bear to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle of life and find a wonderful quite place to relax with your family or friends yet close enough to town to enjoy everything Angel Fire has to offer. We also want to say that the Hosts were warm and extremely hospitable. They welcomed us to their property and made us feel right at home. Our family Christmas was made memorable. Thanks for everything. The Parr - Burnside Family

Top notch!

We stayed for 5 nights with 3 families and it was PERFECT! The house is even better than in the pictures. It is so spacious and beautiful. The furnishings are high quality and the bedding in each room is luxurious. It was easy to cook meals in the well-stocked kitchen and roomy pantry. The kids enjoyed the downstairs space and the hot-tub was very relaxing. The views from the main living area are breathtaking. We had a snowstorm roll in and we had to purchase tire chains for our minivan from the True Value in town. If you don't have 4 wheel drive, go ahead and purchase chains ahead of time if you are staying during the winter months because you will need them to get up and down the mountain as the roads are steep. We had a wonderful vacation and the hosts were amazing. Thank you for sharing your awesome home with us!

Great House and property!

The house was incredible. Beautiful, spacious new home with plenty of room for our family and friends. The location was beautiful. It was at the end a mountain road off the main highway overlooking a large field and wooded area. The house was fully stocked and had anything and everything we would need for a great time in the winter or summer. We sledded down the driveway with the kids, used the hot tub frequently which was a nice perk. I would highly recommend this house to any large group and I would LOVE to return again one day. We were close, about a 10 minute drive, from the Angel Fire Resort and base of the ski mountain. The parking is easy at the resort. I would say that 4 wheel drive is needed during the winter mainly if it snows a lot, mainly to get out of the driveway which has a decent pitch . . It snowed a ton the day before we left, and I had our 2 wheel drive up on the top side of the driveway (about 30 yards from the house). There was a huge snow plow came through on the main road to the highway which helped a ton. I got down fine with 2 wheel drive, just being cautious and driving slowly. Either way, this would not deter me at all from renting this house but should be noted. Also to note the house is at around 9500 feet elevation, for reference the ski mountain is 8500 feet.

Has to be the best home in Angel Fire NM!

This is an amazing, well-appointed custom designed home with everything anyone could possibly want when renting a vacation home. The home is clean, open and just perfect for hanging out while visiting with friends and family. It's large and yet maintains a comfortable setting and vibe for all. The views from the windows are fabulous and the game room downstairs ideal for kids and adults. We stayed over Thanksgiving and watched the snow fall, cooked, ate and then played games. The home also has a jacuzzi as well as a large TV screen. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the host had a left a welcoming gift for us when we arrived. It was just a fantastic experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this home to anyone or any group who is considering a trip to Angel Fire NM. I have absolutely nothing negative or even constructive criticism to say about this home.

Wow this place is spectacular!

We had 12 family members and a few other drop-ins and this place turned out to be perfect for us. It has a first class view, and the house and everything in it were top of the line quality. We could not have been more pleased with everything. We saw wildlife of all types while sitting on the beautiful deck. It is perfect for all ages, from toddlers to seniors! Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, which adds an extra touch of luxury. The owner was very responsive and could not have been more gracious. I cannot recommend this property strongly enough!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Powell

Host profile image
My grandparents built one of the first homes in Angel Fire in 1968 and that home is still in our family. The family has grown much since then and we needed a larger place to accommodate our three generations. Barbie and I decided to carry on the family tradition of providing a place for family and friends to gather without all the distractions of the world. We want to share this special place with you and your family too. Dancing Bear Lodge is a place for family reunions, friend trips, rest, solitude and an opportunity for friends/families to reconnect and reunite.

Why they chose this property

Dancing Bear Lodge sits just below the trees and a rising mountain and is rather secluded from the other homes in the Angel Fire Resort. The amazing view is down the valley of a meadow is on private ranch land where elk often graze and bed. That property is part of the New Mexico Game Management Unit 48 with 242,197 acres.

What makes this property unique

This is a special place filled with many architectural/design details, southwest, western and Native American art and artifacts that were collected over 50 years by our parents and ourselves. Everywhere you look there is something interesting that will capture your attention.
